Meryl Streep’s ‘Osage County’ and Nicole Kidman’s ‘Grace’ move dates

It may be only the start of summer, but the jockeying for position in Hollywood’s end-of-year awards derby is already well under way.

The Weinstein Co. has moved the release dates of two of its hopefuls. “August: Osage County” is being pushed back to Christmas Day from its previous date of Nov. 7, while “Grace of Monaco,” starring Nicole Kidman as actress-turned-royalty Grace Kelly, will come forward from Dec. 27 to Nov. 27.

Directed by John Wells, “August” is adapted by Tracey Letts from his own play and features a heavyweight, hardware-hungry cast of Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Chris Cooper and Benedict Cumberbatch. The original Broadway production of the family drama picked up a Pulitzer Prize as well as a raft of Tony and Drama Desk awards.

“Grace” is directed by French filmmaker Olivier Dahan, who helmed Marion Cottilard to an Oscar as Edith Piaf in ‘La Vie en Rose” but stumbled with his little-seen follow up, the Rene Zellweger-starring “My Own Love Song.”

Here’s the trailer for “August: Osage County.”
